Chapter 157: Returning Safely
But before she could get next to the carriage, she was held up by a pair of strong arms. Looking up and seeing the worry on Qi Ye's face, Su Xiyun sighed and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." With that, she gently removed the hand from her arm, and sat down in the carriage. At this time, she felt surprised, obviously Qi Ye was still outside the carriage just now, why was he already in the carriage in a blink of an eye?
Just when she was surprised, Qi Ye had already turned around and jumped out of the carriage, then turned his head to look at her and said softly: "It's late, you hurry up and change your clothes, and I'll ask someone to send you back." So saying, he closed the curtain of the carriage, and pulled it tightly.
Su Xiyun nodded, the thrilling scene just now was really scary, if something happened again, she really didn't have the ability to bear it. It's better to go home early, Qi Ye's proposal is exactly what she wants, just do what she says, just as she lowered her head and reached out to unbutton her clothes, suddenly the carriage curtain was lifted again, and Su Xiyun immediately put down her hand.
Outside, Qi Ye saw that Su Xiyun seemed to be frightened, so he hurriedly lowered the curtain, and then said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to say that what happened just now affected you." It's that I can't live with you. Then Su Xiyun heard the footsteps of hurriedly leaving, there were quite a few people, and it seemed that they had gone far.
Su Xiyun sat in the carriage and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she hadn't even undressed herself, okay? However, such a scene was really embarrassing, Qi Ye walked away, and the people outside also left. She sat there but could no longer stretch out her hand, and it was so quiet that all she could hear was the rustling of the leaves in the wind, as if there was no one outside.
After a while, Su Xiyun calmed down, and then slowly took off the men's shirt that he was wearing in a hurry and pulled out of the small baggage, and then changed into the lotus lotus-colored dress he wore when he came. In the meantime, there was no movement outside. She gradually let go of the heart she was carrying.
That set of men's clothes was specially prepared after she received Qi Ye's letter during the day, originally she wanted to change into that set of men's clothes, and then quietly mixed out of the Bofu, but she didn't need it at all, but the burden was always on her back, and at the same time she also prepared a small paper bag, which was originally prepared for fear of being recognized, but she didn't expect these things to be used when she went out of the house, but they came in handy here.
If it weren't for her wit, the rumors of Miss Cheng'an's Mansion night party would have spread everywhere tomorrow morning, and then she would have been spurned by thousands of people, and at the same time she would have come back soon, and she would have killed herself in anger at that time!
Su Xiyun was scared when she thought of this.
But the movements under her hands were not slow, and at the same time, her ears were also carefully staring at the movement outside, and after getting dressed, she took off the square scarf on her head, revealing a long black hair like a waterfall, she put her hands together, and after a short time, she simply pulled a sideburn, lowered her head and looked for it in the corner of the carriage, and then put on all the ornaments she originally wore on her head according to the position in her memory. The rest is the black ash on the face.
This is easy to do, Su Xiyun took the handkerchief and carefully wiped off the ash from the bottom of the pot on her face, but there was no mirror, and she didn't know if it was clean. Besides, it was not only night, but also night, so where did she find the lights, mirrors, and washing water? If you want to return to Cheng'anbo Mansion safely and without arousing suspicion, this is obviously not possible.
Su Xiyun was a little embarrassed, and then, she opened the curtain, anyway, her clothes and hair were all packed, and she was not afraid of being seen at this time.
After a while, Qi Ye's figure appeared from the night, white clothes and black hair, golden crown and jade belt, and his body was more and more long, and his temperament was like bamboo.
He ran over from not far away, stopped a foot away in front of the carriage, and then stared at Su Xiyun in the sedan chair with blazing eyes, his eyes were full of appreciation, and there was no disgust at all.
Su Xiyun touched her face, she didn't know if she had wiped it clean or not, when she was there just now, she didn't think about it so much, but at this moment, she felt very embarrassed, especially in front of Qi Ye. Her mouth opened, how could she not tell the matter that she needed mirrors and water, in this wilderness, isn't she embarrassed?
But Qi Ye understood everything at a glance, turned around and walked out immediately, did not go far, and then stood still, and immediately a black-clothed guard ran in front of him in the dark, Su Xiyun sat in the carriage and saw Qi Ye whispering a few words, and the guard jumped forward and immediately disappeared from Su Xiyun's sight. And Qi Ye came back at this time.
"Don't worry, what you need will be available soon, and it won't delay you going back." Qi Ye looked at Su Xiyun and said.
"Thank you." Su Xiyun nodded slightly.
The parting was imminent, but neither of them had anything extra to say, at this moment, one of them was sitting in the carriage, and the other was standing outside the carriage, like the meeting a long time ago, when Su Xiyun had just suffered from Qi Junhan's harass from the county king's mansion, and returned to the Bofu very late, and ran into Qi Ye. It was the same as it is today, but the mood was very different.
Qi Ye looked at Su Xiyun, who had not completely wiped the black ash on her cheeks in front of her, but she didn't feel ugly in her heart, but felt beautiful. When Qi Zhen lifted the carriage curtain, that scene not only shocked Qi Zhen, but also shocked him, he never thought that as a woman, he could react so quickly. Su Xiyun really shocked him. Looking at her sitting there quietly at this moment, Qi Ye didn't know why, but he felt that his heart was surging and it was difficult to calm down.
At this time, the departing guard returned, followed by a guard, one of whom carried lanterns, candles, and other things, and the other with a basin of water, and even took some handkerchiefs and incense. The two put their things in the carriage, nodded to Qi Ye, and left.
Qi Ye took a look at those things, and saw that all of them were brand new and unused, so he immediately eased his expression and said to Su Xiyun in a soft voice: "You wash up quickly, I'll leave first." As he spoke, he took a step and turned to leave, and soon the handsome and extraordinary figure disappeared in front of Su Xiyun.
Su Xiyun looked down at those things, but found that the guards were quite careful, the lantern was hung on the top of the car wall, there was a small table under the copper mirror, the copper basin also had a stand, and the Pa rouge and other things next to it were arranged in an orderly manner, like a small makeup table, Su Xiyun was amazed, and then walked to the bronze mirror.
Sure enough, the black ash was not wiped clean, one on the left and one on the right. Although she changed back into women's clothes, she still gave people a feeling of a cat's face. Su Xiyun looked at herself in the bronze mirror fixedly, remembering that Qi Ye was still looking at herself with an affectionate appearance just now, and suddenly felt countless drops of sweat dripping from her head.
No longer hesitating at the moment, Su Xiyun immediately reached into the basin and washed her face with water, and then wiped it carefully, but did not move the rouge and other things that were placed there. Finally, she examined her sideburns in front of the bronze mirror to see if the hairpin ring was crooked, lowered her head and stroked the corner of her skirt, and then she lifted the curtain.
As soon as there was movement on her side, Qi Ye over there quickly rushed over from a distance.
"It's been a long time, so I'll tell them to send you back. It's time to go, and I can't get out. Qi Ye looked at Su Xiyun and said.
Su Xiyun nodded and said, "Of course, your affairs are more important, you can set off quickly, don't worry about me." ”
Qi Ye didn't speak, but glanced at Su Xiyun deeply, and then blew a whistle and called the red rabbit horse he was used to riding. And the group of subordinates he brought with him also appeared from the shadows. All gathered on the other side of the big one, all with solemn expressions and ready for battle.
Only then did Qi Ye speak: "When you enter the city gate, I will leave." ”
Su Xiyun nodded.
Immediately, a guard rushed over and packed up the copper basins and other things he had just brought. Then the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the carriage moved slowly.
Qi Ye kept staring at the carriage that was slowly leaving, his eyes had always been focused on a certain place, as if through the heavy curtain, he could see the quiet smiling face of the girl sitting in the carriage. It wasn't until the carriage reached the gates, and the two wide gates slowly opened, and he let the carriage in, that he withdrew his gaze.
"Lord, a pair of centaurs have been detected ten miles ahead, and we don't know who we are." Immediately, a captain of the guard stepped forward to report.
Qi Ye's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't care, let's go!" The tone was full of contempt.
"Yes!" The guards immediately replied in unison. In the night, the loud voice traveled far, far away.
Qi Ye turned over sharply, got on the horse, and then clamped his legs, and the red rabbit horse galloped out, as soon as he left, those guards immediately rushed out, and after a while, these sturdy figures disappeared into the night.
Su Xiyun took the carriage to the back door of the Bofu unimpeded, and when she got off the carriage, she found that there was not even a lantern at the back door, and it was very quiet.
"Miss, please!" Zhou Can, who escorted Su Xiyun back, said in a low voice. Island Notes.
Su Xiyun nodded, raised her feet and walked inside, she believed that since Zhou Can dared to call herself in, it proved that there must be no danger ahead.
As it turned out, she was right, because the road from the back door to the courtyard was unimpeded, just like when she left the house.
When Su Xiyun returned to the courtyard, Zhou Can's figure disappeared.
Su Xiyun walked up the steps, and at this time, the lights in the west chamber turned on.
